Australia A have clinched the one-day series against England Lions with a crushing 113-run victory at Blundstone Arena.

Chasing the home side's 6-256, the Lions were all out for a dismal 143 in 37 overs, leaving them winless now in six games on tour.

Australia A paceman Alister McDermott led a demolition job on the visitors' batting line-up with 3-32, while spinner Cameron Boyce (2-29) and Josh Hazlewood (2-23) chipped in.

Only Lions skipper James Taylor (78 from 82) showed any real resistance as the tourists lost their last eight wickets for just 49.

The Australians lead the five-match series 3-0 with the final two games to be played at the SCG next Monday and Friday.

The Lions' trip down under is beginning to resemble the tour from hell, with youngsters Ben Stokes and Matt Coles sent home on Thursday for ill discipline off the field.

They lost their first three wickets to careless shots, Varun Chopra (4 from 11) the first to fall when he paddled a ball to Hazlewood at short fine leg at 1-8.

It was 2-27 when Alex Hales was caught at deep square leg before Taylor and Gary Ballance (26 from 50) put on 67 for the third wicket.

Ballance spooned a full toss to mid-off at 3-94, Ben Foakes went for a duck an over later and it was 5-101 when James Vince (four from 10) was bowled by McDermott.

When Stuart Meaker was out for a duck at 8-112, the tourists had lost 6-18.

Earlier, Callum Ferguson continued his impressive form in the series with 65 from 64 balls after he'd made 74 from 78 balls in game two.

Skipper Aaron Finch made 57 from 83 balls, while Lions spinner Simon Kerrigan was the pick of the bowlers with 2-27.

West Australian Adam Voges will join the Australia A squad in Sydney on Saturday for the final two games of the series.
